Kering said it is making an undisclosed donation to Italy’s Emilia Romagna region, which has been hit by widespread flooding that caused at least 14 deaths and left thousands of people homeless.
Occurring 11 years after the Emilia Romagna region was struck by back-to-back earthquakes in 2012, last week’s exceptional rainfall is believed to have equaled half the annual average, leading to the deadly flooding.
Emergency workers, including local volunteers, are clearing streets of mud and although rainfall over the weekend is not expected to top levels of the past few days, the region remains in emergency mode.
